Sorry for another short question, but I was searching and found nothing and I guess you folks know the answer in a second:
Currently links in a post have the same colour as normal text and only when you hoover over them with the mouse, get another colour.
I want to change this to a permanent distinct colour of links.
Is this something the theme is responsible for, or is there some option in SP to change this, I cant find?
Thanks!

Depends what SP theme and overlay you are using. And - whether you have made a child theme or not which would then preserve changes form being updated by us and this lost.
Or - you could wait until after the 5.6 update (due to be released tomorrow) and use the new CSS custom admin panel which is being provided for just these sort of minor overrides.

I use Theme reboot without any child themes or other customizations.
But the CSS custom panel sounds great, just tell me the "overwrite" I would need.
Thanks

Just using:
#spMainContainer a,
#spMainContainer a:link,
#spMainContainer a:active,
#spMainContainer a:visited {
color: XXXXX !important;
}will deal with just about everything there is. Do not like using the !important directive but in this case it might need the hammer approach.
Of course -you can split these up into separate rules if you prefer,

It's definitely going to be the easiest way of testing and using small amounts of custom CSS from now on! Although we'd still recommend using a child theme for more comprehensive changes.
Let us know how it goes..

I tested Yellow Swordfishs suggestion with 5.6 and it works. Fine thing!
But ..... there is always a "but" 😉
The generell solution of Yellow Swordfish, unfortunately changes "every colour of any link" and that doesnt make sense in my case, as it makes text with coloured background (for example in the statistics and in the group overview of the forum) unreadable.
What I am looking for is a solution just for the text in the posts. Nothing else changed.
Is it possible to provide me with a short CSS that just changes the behaviour of the link colours display in the posts itself, but NOT for the general colour structure of the theme?
In fact I even dont need a change of colour, the theme colour is fine for the posts too. All I need is a CSS, that changes the "hoovering behaviour" in the text when moving a mouse over. I need to change this into showing the colour permanently, independent of a mouse-over!
Or in other words: Links in the posts should be identifyable as links immediately and not just when by accident moving the mouse over!
Unfortunately I am no CSS expert, so I would need your help to code this.
Thanks!

#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent a:active,
#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent a:visited
